Afrobeat sensation Kelvyn Boy has revealed that musicians who sound typically Ghanaian are not breaking barriers with their songs.
According to him, this is the reason many Ghanaians are imitating Nigerians and Jamaicans to make their music travel to other parts of the world.
Kelvyn Boy revealed this during a recent interview with a sister station Hitz FM.
“We are finding it hard when we sound typical Ghanaian. I mean, enodey go when we do it like that. Even if ego is just here, you come back and say, ‘Oh, why are we just here and some people are international?'” he said.
Kelvyn Boy further said the Nigerians were also adding the Ghanaian language into their tracks, to give it a unique sound that could resonate with the Ghanaian market.
“They don’t sound just them; they sometimes leave theirs and come and say our own. They fuse in. The fusion is what I’m talking about,” he said.
Kelvyn Boy expressed the need for musicians to balance their music to gain foreign fans and listeners.
“Because at the end of the day, it’s the same Ghanaian people who listen to Nigerian songs. We’re talking about balance; they fuse in, and balance is what I think is taking time,” he added.
